THe long raya weekend

Whoosh!!! The long weekend just went by just like that! How I wish it was longer. I really love the Raya hols. Gives me such a festive feeling. When i was younger, I used to like driving through the kampungs back in my hometown at night. Cos you get to see those festive lights hanging on the houses and those candles stuck to those long poles along the road. So peaceful you know? :)

Though I didn't do anything significant this year, at least I managed to spend it with Peanut all day long. Luckily, her cough has gone away; not so with mine. I'm still coughing intermittently, after a whole week wtf while BigB has also started coughing and he has the flu now. *oopss* Don't blame me, he still drinks from my cup sometimes despite knowing that i was sick...*cough cough* And I wore a mask to sleep okie! *am socially responsible*

Peanut is like a worm. She's always wriggling here and there, and she can't sit still. She likes to twist her body, making an "S" shape every time i feed her. How la like this. Every night is a battle with me geting her to sleep, cos she'll roll here and there, giggles at me, pulls my hair, and chuckles happily when i finally gives in and let her sit on my tummy. And she's no longer an Ah Pui. Though her cheeks are still chubby, she seems to be 'longer' rather than 'fatter'. I think she should be called Ah Long instead.

Below are some pictures taken when Posie and the Wangs and MrBrianP came over to my in-laws' house after a huge breakfast of bak kut teh together gether. Their aim, or rather, Posie's and Mrs Wang's, was to see Ah Long. Kesian Mr Wang and MrBrian cos forced to follow je.

Oh hi girls!!!

Peanut likes to bite her lower lips nowadays.

More here..

Peanut now spends most of her time in her walker, or what her gramps called it, the "pon-pon". Cos it has a honk you see. That goes *pon ponnnn!!*. I know there are tons of literature out there that doesn't condone the use of the walker, but i feel it has more pros and cons. She spends her days zooming around it from one end of the house to the other. And she's super entertained by it. And we can definitely see her skills improve in there...from the tentative crab-like walk, to full on 'walking'. And she even practised her standing in there.

Gembira sia...

And she bites her lower lips again..!

And it's back to work again tomorrow. Let's hope and pray that the jams that i had to endure after work since the Puasa starts has ceased! Bye y'all.

And before i forget, Happy Birthday to Mrs Wang!!!!! *huggssss*
